Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 A chemical synapse is either an action potential (AP) synapse or a graded potential (GP) synapse but not both. This study investigated how signals passed the glutamatergic synapse between the rod photoreceptor and its postsynaptic hyperpolarizing bipolar

Phosphoinositides and Photoreceptors [PDF]
Molecular Neurobiology, 2011 The importance of phosphoinositides (phosphorylated phosphatidyl inositol derivatives, PIs) for normal cellular function cannot be overstated. Although they represent a small fraction of the total phospholipid within the cell, they are essential regulators of many cellular functions.

Mouse rods signal through gap junctions with cones
eLife, 2014 Rod and cone photoreceptors are coupled by gap junctions (GJs), relatively large channels able to mediate both electrical and molecular communication. Despite their critical location in our visual system and evidence that they are dynamically gated for ...

The photoreceptor mosaic [PDF]
Eye, 1998 The organisation of the human photoreceptor mosaic reflects evolutionary strategies for optimising visual information under a wide range of stimulus conditions: (1) The rod population dominates (max. 170,000/mm2 at c. 30 degrees sup.) except for the central 2 degrees and along the ora serrata.

Ganglion cell complex thickness in screening of hydroxychloroquine maculopathy
Delta Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020 Background Screening of early hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) maculopathy is important to prevent permanent structural and functional retinal damage. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) ultra-high-resolution imaging and speed allows better ...

Cholesterol homeostasis in the vertebrate retina: biology and pathobiology
Journal of Lipid Research, 2021 : Cholesterol is a quantitatively and biologically significant constituent of all mammalian cell membrane, including those that comprise the retina. Retinal cholesterol homeostasis entails the interplay between de novo synthesis, uptake, intraretinal ...

Loss of Motor Protein MYO1C Causes Rhodopsin Mislocalization and Results in Impaired Visual Function
Cells, 2021 Unconventional myosins, linked to deafness, are also proposed to play a role in retinal cell physiology. However, their direct role in photoreceptor function remains unclear.

UV Radiation Induces Specific Changes in the Carotenoid Profile of Arabidopsis thaliana
Biomolecules, 2022 UV-B and UV-A radiation are natural components of solar radiation that can cause plant stress, as well as induce a range of acclimatory responses mediated by photoreceptors.
